Thank you my friend!!

Did you also install TWRP 3.0.2.0 image?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Ticklefish:
...and thanks for this one as well! :D

By the way, is this odexed? Great if it is, I need an odexed ROM to test my theming tool on.. ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] :
Thanks for the help but in the end I fixed it myself,entered the commands one by one from the install.bat into CMD
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Ticklefish:
Damn, you're too fast. I was hoping to get my second post on before anybody added another one!

No, not yet. I'm busy downloading all the needed files now. I'm at work at the moment (using the company internet...shh...) so I'll be flashing later.

Do I need to install that image, or can I just go straight to your batch file?

I installed MM + TWRP + Xposed on my Z3c this weekend and everything is working like a charm.

Special info for bro [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION]: I gave Xperia Xposed (LP) a shot, since I assumed that at least some of its functionality might already work under MM. On the positive side, it didn't crash or bootloop the system. On the negative side, none of the functions I used under LP (which are in the System UI, the Lockscreen and the Power Menu sections) worked under MM. Well, at least it was worth a try. :laugh: I really hope (as surely many other Xperia users) that you will develop Xperia Xposed for MM too! :fingers-crossed:

For those who are interested, I tried the following Xposed modules successfully under MM: AppOpsXposed, Disable Desk Dock, GravityBox [MM] (only tried a few functions), Greenify, Lock Screen Widgets [L-M], Music to Walkman, NFC LockScreenOff Enabler [MM], No Lock Home, Obb On SD, UnrestrictedGetTasks, XperiaFMwoHS, XPosed Torch, XPrivacy, XPrivacy in App Info and YouTube Background Playback.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ondrejvaroscak:
I am also successfully using App Settings (per app settings for DPI, language etc.)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] saeed-constantine:
This update is good but

1. Why status bar is black.. This is sooooo ugly

2. main apps such as contacts/phone، settings and messaging are slow( transition are good but app loading is slow and this is awfull)

3. Lag on contacts names

4. Badges of third part apps are gone such as whatsapp/instagram....

5.Black status bar on call window is ugly too

6. Blink black color on status bar after transition effect when we use other themes ( not pre-installed themes)

Post this to g+ community plz

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] serajr:
Thank you buddy... very kind words!!

Did you forget Blurred System UI? ;)

About Xperia Xposed (LP), it is not compatible with API Level 23 branch. I have no plans for a new one yet (MM), but let the time tells us!!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
Most of things that you're pointing out, were already posted from other people on g+. Don't worry :good:

Something from myself too.

I didn't try this fix on Beta (I tried on Concept where I'm sure it works flawlessly).

Anyhow have you tried a full wipe of data before flashing this fix?

Because without a full wipe it doesn't usually work on any firmware.. :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] okij:
Oops, sorry! :o I just installed it. :cool:

OK, I see! I already was wondering that it didn't work at all, because e.g. the quick settings layout doesn't seem to have changed at all from stock LP to MM. That's why I wrote on the other thread that hopefully it isn't too much work for you to migrate Xperia Xposed from LP to MM.

So I'll stay full of hope! :) Take your time, mate!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] callsignapollo:
Have these steps changed now that there are pre-rooted zips available?

Can we now instead?

1 - Flash old KK firmware with FlashTool

2 - Get root with giefroot

3 - Install latest NUT's dual recovery

4 - Flash offical MM pre-rooted FW (with SuperSU and TWRP)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ondrejvaroscak:
Yes. Just as last step you must flash MM again in Flashtool excluding system to get latest bootloader and baseband.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Spardantex:
I'm shocked: the bug of the active radio signal was not fixed.. It is possible that we need to root and install Xposed to solve the problem? It's been a year since they know the problem and Sony has not done anything to fix one of the most serious bugs. Please someone report this on Google plus group..

Permanent Mount RW

Just get my Z3c this beta ROM

There is a problem when i try to remove system apps with Titanium Backup, the application i remove getting back again

same thing applied with other system app remover

To remove system apps i have to use adb, remount rw and then delete from adb shell

And also twrp can run only at first boot, then i just can't reboot to recovery anymore

Any help?

PS: sorry for my bad english

Unfortunately not, I can't access even though adb command reboot recovery, it just reboots normally, I can just access once straight after installation, even of from recovery I tap reboot recovery, it reboots normally

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

I did already and "spammed" on some fb groups hoping other people will report it (just 300+ so far did it from October). BTW, how do you fix it with xposed? Which modules do you use?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ondrejvaroscak:
There is no such bug. Google Play Services keep radio for various reasons but not a bug. It is an urban legend.

As for recovery the reboot recovery command is not working but I can enter recovery by volume buttons
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Spardantex:
Search in xposed download section the module radio active bug fix
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] chemicalbuz:
It might be an urban legend but 30 Min of chrome usage kept the radio open 4.5h, consuming almost 4 times 1h30min of screen. And this happens with random apps on lte all the time. Luckily z3c has still a great battery life
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
STAMINA COMES BACK!!!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ondrejvaroscak:
I use LeanDroid to control radio in sleep.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] serajr:
To enter recovery after its installation you have two options:

- Vol down key just after green led / vibration

- Create a blank boot file at /cache/recovery/ folder and reboot

Wtf... daaaaaamn sony!!

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Sean09:
It seems Doze is great for my Sony tablet (ie, it is not moving constantly because I don't carry it on my holster or in my pocket), whereas Stamina had more of a benefit for a phone that is moving more frequently throughout the day. Has Stamina been re-introduced into the beta yet? I am trying to determine how long it may be before it makes its way to the official OTA's.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] giober98:
They say it should be in the next beta update

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] :
I had location enabled. I think that might've caused the problem
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ondrejvaroscak:
This can be definitely a case, because location services are regularly and irregularly checking your location against database os GSM/LTE radio masts and known wifi networks. A good way how to get rid of it is to install sort of network mode changer / gps / network location changer, such as LeanDroid.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] DilanF98:

The usual question ... (Do I even need to ask it?)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] MechaBouncer:
How is the WiFi? Is it more like Lollipop?

Also, does it now remember USB connection settings again or does it ask you every stupid time still?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] NewBieSS:
No way, even it still on android N preview
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] lamducthien:
Wait for your twrp backup
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] luxpast:
How does Stamina work in your opinion? Have you tried it? What does it mean with gps restricted, is it still possible to use maps? It's only restricted to limit battery usage when screen is off?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
Right, you don't need to ask ;)

I have to be honest: I've never had issues with all my WiFi connections on MarshMallow.

So I can't say if it's better now...

Yes, USB connection still asks any time what's your choice :D

You will get it, don't worry ;)

IMHO it's not like the old Stamina.

It looks more like the usual power savings option.

You can choose which apps to save from Stamina, but you must go into "Optimization" menu and add them to the list. I guess that doing this, also Doze will not work on them anymore :( not a big deal...

I hope I'm wrong anyways!

PS: Instead Ultrastamina still rocks! :good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] luxpast:
It would already be good if you could choose what stamina would do to reduce battery usage...remove vibration or not, etc...

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] MechaBouncer:
Dammit! Why!? This is such a pain when I try to stream the video in my car because I need to wait to connect it until after I put it in gear. Streaming uses the same video encoding/decoding as the backup camera so they interfere with one another. Having to also wait to select the mode I want instead of just remembering it like it should wastes even more time.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] okij:
Thanks a lot [MENTION=4708091]istux[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION] for providing the new beta and the files for rooting and recovery! :good::victory:

Some questions about Z3C_MM_TWRP_Recovery_By_Serajr_v3_Combined.zip though:

What are the exact differences between v2 and v3? If I get it right, chargemon.sh should be the same and just TWRP is a newer version, as well as the possibility to flash from recovery has been added!?

When flashing a new system partition (like with the new .151 Beta), manually uninstalling an older version of chargemon shouldn't be necessary (since there will be the stock chargemon anyway), or am I wrong with this?

The newest RecRootV4 by [MENTION=2822871]Wolfbreak[/MENTION] should still be working with the new Beta (of couse only when the correct Z3c TWRP has been copied into its zip file), or have there been some other changes in the .151 Beta?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
Previous backups ;)

After the first update, the system can't be changed.

It's not possible, as the original firmware on which the beta program was activated, is the Italian one.

If [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION] will make the deodexed and debloated version (like he already did the last time) to flash over the original one, you will get a smaller and cleaner system than any other stock firmware ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] vandiaz_sairavinz:
Port for z2 pls
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] serajr:
Diffs are:

- Combined Zip (Windows and Recovery)

- Improved Scripts (bat, sh and updater-script) - all of them

The uninstall instructions are for those who want to get rid of it only!

Thank you, [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4708091]istux[/MENTION], but I'm not too fond of deodexed firmwares. I have the impression that odexed ones run faster. I might be wrong, though. I'm intrigued. In the 23.5.A.0.570 builds the Customized IL (for the D5803) and KR (for the D5833) CDAs are around 1.4GB packed, whereas the BR one is almost 1.8GB, and rhey are all odexed. Almost 400MB of bloatware!?

Odexed roms aren't any faster than deodexed. They might boot faster after wiping the Dalvik cache, but that's about it.

First impressions - and a rant about the so called New STAMINA mode

I've been on .570 official MM firmware (locked bootloader, rooted and TWRP) before.

I flashed [MENTION=4708091]istux[/MENTION]'s and [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION]'s Z3C_MM_Beta_23.5.A.1.151_Flashable.zip from here in TWRP and (without rebooting!) also [MENTION=2822871]Wolfbreak[/MENTION]'s RecRoot V4 from here (in which I before replaced the two recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma files with [MENTION=4962787]fluffi444[/MENTION]'s newest Z3c version from here).

First impressions (just a few hours of usage) are that .151 beta is running well (as was .570 official before).

However, IMHO the MinFree (Low Memory Killer) settings are still to aggressive, so apps tend to not stay running in the background. In comparison to the (IMHO well balanced) LP settings, they are:

LP .264	=	12288,	15360,	18432,	21504,	24576,	30720	Pages
48,	60,	72,	84,	96,	120	MBytes

MM .570	=	15360,	19200,	23040,	26880,	57238,	66560	Pages
60,	75,	90,	105,	224	260	MBytes

MM .151 =	15360,	19200,	23040,	26880,	39535,	48640	Pages
60,	75,	90,	105,	154	190	MBytes

Of course we can change this e.g. with Kernel Adiutor, but what about all the normal users without root?

And finally some words about the so called New STAMINA mode: In my opinion - sorry SONY for pointing this out (but hoping you are reading this) - the new implementation so far is just UTTERLY CRAP!

What's the use of having no vibration, GPS and image enhancement anymore when using STAMINA? The battery performance was really OK on .570 (comparable to LP) when using the phone, i.e. having the screen turned on, the remaining problem is just that the phone uses more juice when idle and when not just laying around (so that Doze mode kicks in).

I want a STAMINA mode back that simply limits background processes and turns off background data immediately after turning off the screen.

Sorry for ranting! If someone of the Beta group is reading this, please report these things to SONY! Thanks! :highfive:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] dkionline:
yes, theres more sqsh in it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
It was reported immediately from many beta testers, this is the answer:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] okij:
Thanks for sharing these infos! :)

I still think that SONY is on the wrong path! While the old (LP) Stamina mode could be used at all times without limiting user experience but still saving a good amount of battery when the screen is off, the new (MM beta) Stamina mode turns off e.g. vibration (haptic feedback) and image enhancement (X-Reality / vivid colours / contrast enhancement in bright sunlight), so it's not useful for keeping it activated at all times.

As I already wrote, I only need better battery management when the screen is off, to get standby times like in LP, without affecting the user experience.

I really hope that SONY will listen to its users and beta testers! :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] dkionline:
thats not easy, because they have to remove doze then.
